In May of the second year of Jian'an (197), Jiaozhou Jiaozhi County Longbiancheng County Shoufu

Liu Xiu accepted the marriage of the little emperor Liu Xiu, and after gladly accepting it, he began to carefully arrange the military and political affairs of the prefecture and county

Now he ruled the counties and counties of a state, because of the location in the extreme south, the population is not as large as the Central Plains and other places, but there are also many fewer soldiers, and now he has more than four million people in many counties and counties, of which more than half of the people are under the rule of Lingling, Changsha, the original Yuzhang and other three counties;

With such a large population and such a large state and county, as long as it is carefully governed, if it is in the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the population of such a county is enough to establish a country

And for Liu Xiu at this time, it was enough to carry out some of his plans

At this time, Liu Xiu ordered the newly arrived Qi Jiguang to be the governor of the western part of Jiaozhou, responsible for the military administration of Jiaozhi and the attack of Qiqi and Cham

"Yuan Jing, in addition to internal and external attacks, you must have more ships and warships to build maritime affairs and train naval forces."

"Grain, grass and military supplies, I will order Xie Jing and Xie Huo (Xie Yizi, Xie Xuan's brother) to escort them, and then the two of them will stay to help you!" Liu Xiu continued to order;

"Whoa!" Qi Jiguang took Liu Xiu's order seriously

"En" Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, and then instructed Liu Bowen: "Bowen, tomorrow you will send someone to Panyu County, Nanhai County to announce my order: order Liu Renliang to be the governor of the eastern part of Jiaozhou, the governor of military and political affairs, take more precautions against the Huiji Sun clan, and then order it to expand the army to 50,000, step up the construction of maritime affairs, and train the navy; As for Zheng He, he ordered him to repair more warships and prepare more for the ocean! Similarly, for food and grass and military supplies, I mean that Xie Quan and Xie You will be responsible and help them! ”

"Whoa!"

"Then transfer Liu Du and Xing Daorong to recruit 10,000 soldiers in Hepu, as soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time!"

"Whoa!"

"Let these three places try their best to recruit people in one city, and concentrate their finances on developing one place, so that they can develop faster."

"Whoa!"

After Liu Xiu gave a series of orders, he asked again: "Berwyn, in addition to Jiaozhou, how are the soldiers and horses in Jingnan and other places now?" ”

"Enlighten the lord!" Liu Bowen got up and replied: "The four counties of Jingnan, now there are 20,000 in the north of Wuling, 10,000 in the south of Wuling and Lingling, 10,000 in Guiyang County, 10,000 in Changsha County, and 10,000 in Dongting Lake Water Village, so in Jingnan, there are 60,000 troops in the main public!" ”

"In Yangzhou, the lord has two counties and two cities, forming an eastern defense line, including 10,000 in Luling County, 30,000 in General Panyang Wei Rui, 10,000 in Chaisang Yang Liulang, and 20,000 in General Xue Rengui in Anhui County, which is also a total of 80,000 troops!"

"Sixty thousand, eighty thousand!" When Liu Xiu heard this, he muttered: "Jiaozhou soldiers and horses are also about to reach 80,000, plus 20,000 under my command now."

"Tsk" Liu Xiu carefully calculated, there will be an army of 250,000 under his command soon, and he couldn't help sighing: "The burden of grain and grass is very heavy!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord!" When Liu Bowen heard this, he comforted Liu Xiu, and said with a smile: "The lord can order the surrounding counties under his rule to train more soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of many internal counties such as Lingling and Guiyang will be changed to the tuntian system, presumably they will be able to be independent in less than a year, and there is no need to rely on the lord's grain and grass to continue!" ”

"It's good!" When Liu Xiu heard this, he nodded in agreement: "It can make many soldiers in the county open up wasteland and farm and practice the tuntian system!" ”

"Whoa!"

"So, in three days, we will set off north to Panyang!"

"Whoa!"

Early the next morning, Liu Xiu came to the main hall and began to summon the five choices he had drawn last night

Immediately, there were five choices, but five of them were all talents, and it didn't take long for them to appear in front of Liu Xiu's eyes

The five of them have their own characteristics, none of them are the same, what attracts Liu Xiu's attention the most is a beautiful figure, a young woman with bright eyes and bright teeth, delicate and smart, is the 'female prime minister' Shangguan Wan'er, a woman with both beauty and wisdom;

Another eye-catching figure is a rich and middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body, and he is round from top to bottom, which is the 'super-rich' Shen Wansan;

Then there is an old man with black hair, obviously an old man, but his complexion is ruddy, shiny, and his beard is black, but he is a doctor who knows how to maintain health very well--- 'King of Medicine' Sun Simiao;

The next person is a young man, full of wisdom, as if he knows everything and knows everything, smiling confidently, he is the 'Dream Xizhang Man' Shen Kuo, an omniscient and omniscient character of astronomy and geography;

The last person is a middle-aged man who looks like a great Confucian, a Confucian righteousness, majestic and amiable, it is Zhu Xi, the 'master of science';

The five characters have their own characteristics and pride, but when they saw Liu Xiu, the five of them bowed their heads and said, "I've seen the lord!" ”

or graceful, or rich, or righteous and awe-inspiring, and so on

"You are waiting for five people, but it is just right to come, and now this Hou Ye is the time to use people, and you still need to wait for the green bag to help you cultivate!"

"The lord is polite, we will definitely go to the soup and fire, and we will not give up!" The five bowed and replied;

"Good!" Liu Xiu shouted excitedly;

At this time, Liu Bowen, Liu Ye and others also came in;

"Berwyn, Ziyang, you came just in time, I got a few talents this morning, and I was about to assign a task, and you happened to be with me as a staff officer!" Liu Xiu saw the two, did not wait for the two to salute, and said urgently: "The so-called 'work wants to do a good job, must first sharpen its tools', I heard that you are the best at work, it just so happens that the brother of the Ziyang clan also understands this way, from today onwards, I set up the Ministry of Works, and the two of you will be in charge of the Ministry of Works for me, improve and improve the utensils, especially the siege and agricultural things!" It needs to be taken seriously! ”

When Liu Ye and Shen Kuo heard this, they glanced at each other and got up to promise

Then, Liu Xiu added: "Recently, I have ordered Zhu Bao to paint a picture of the Southern Barbarians, and you also know this way in Cunzhong (Shen Kuozi), you must verify the authenticity of this Southern Barbarian map for me, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Whoa!"

ps: Regarding the low command value in this book, I personally think that the commander refers to the ability to command and fight, which belongs to the wisdom side, not that the higher the martial arts, the higher the commander;

The commander in this book mainly considers the battle record, whether he wins or loses, at least the record of the shot; Most of those who command 90 points or more will have a good record, even if some characters may only have one victory

If there are different opinions, they can be raised in the book review area, and they will be considered as appropriate
